Bulgarian Dimitrov plays superbly and eliminates Alcaraz in 2 sets. In the semi-final he will meet Zverev and, going to the final, he would return to the top 10. In the other semi-final Sinner against Medvedev
The company of Grigor Dimitrov, the opportunity for Jannik Sinner. During the night, sensational elimination of the number 1 of the Miami Masters 1000 Carlos Alcaraz, defeated 6-2 .6-4 by the Bulgarian author of a sumptuous performance. No final announced, therefore, between Alcaraz and Sinnerwith Dimitrov who finds Sascha Zverev in the semi-final of the top part of the drawwho beat Hungarian Maroszan 6-3, 7-5.
But for Jannik there is a chance to overtake in the standings: Sinner, in the event of victory in the tournament – which first and foremost involves tonight’s semi-final against Daniil Medvedev – would gain a position and rise to number 2 in the world.
To beat Alcaraz you have to play at your best, and I came into the match with very clear ideas about what I wanted from myself – Dimitrov’s words -. I wanted to control the match, and I succeeded. Under the eyes of Mike Tyson, there were break points in all the first four games of the match, but the only one to take serve was Grigor (2-0), who then repeated the break by closing the first set 6-2; in the second, however, after once again starting better (break for 3-1 with a great forehand return), there was a moment in which Dimitrov feared to be faced with the comeback of Carlitos, capable of first canceling a ball from 1-5 and then breaking the serve (only time in the match) to zero in the seventh game and to go back to 4-4.
But the Spaniard’s forehand error in the tenth game made the Bulgarian scream with joywhich in case of qualification at the final he would return to the top 10 in the worldor, which hasn’t happened to him since October 2018. Sinner, on the other hand, hasn’t yet been number 2but Zverev is sure: If he continues like this not only will he be the best in the world, but he will also be so for the next 10 years.
